This will elimnate most of the electrical noise from the strobes. Do not rely on the airframe as your ground (return) line. On my installation I ran a red for the Nav lights, Yellow for the strobes, and a black for the ground. All 18 Ga. Another option, since you haven't purchased your lighting yet, is the LED based ones that Zenith is recomending now. Since these are LED based, they do not have the high voltage Xenon strobe power supply that creates all of the electrical noise.

We are pretty much ready to start riveting the elevator skins on. My view of the project tells me that we should be trimming the elevator nose skins so that they have 10-15mm extending aft of the spar rivet line. The plans and instructions don't mention trimming anyplace. Is the trimming the correct thing to do?
